Found the Needle ( Lipstick Shade discontinued ) in the Haystack

Had posted a few months ago about not being able to find a match for my lipstick which Rimmel had discontinued a few years ago. My stash was dwindling down to a few.

Had been searching for years for anything close to it....to no avail. The color was wonderful for my complexion. Received a lot of compliments, even from the makeup specialists.

Someone on this board ( thought I had taken a screen shot of her post ) recommended Three Custom Color Specialists as the place to go for customized makeup dupes. Well, in desperation, I convinced myself that $70 plus shipping for 2 tubes was not bad. If I liked it, then future refills were less.

just got back from the weekend and in the mailbox was a package with the 2 tubes. MATCH ! ! ! Alleluia !

Note: if they already had matched a lipstick shade in their inventory, the price is less. You can check their website. My color: Rimmel #276 " Kasbah "

I am glad you found your match for Kasbah. I remember that color well. I also liked Rimmel's Drop of Sherry which had more rose color in it. It looked good on me. Those were good lipsticks. very moist and a slight pleasant scent.

@jlkz That's great! In addition to the color being spot on is the consistency the same?

I'm in your boat!!! Rimmel discontinued the lipstick I loved (#310 Back to Fuchsia) and had bought for years. I searched every drugstore, walmart, target, fred's, amazon, ebay, etc. I came across to accumulate as many as I could. I dread the day that I run out, but because of you at least I will have a source to continue getting the unique shade that is perfect for my hair, eyes, skin tone, etc. THANK YOU FOR THIS INFORMATION!!!!

I bought every last tube of my favorite lipstick as well, from every online source I could think of....rationing it, then covid hit and now I haven't used any for months! Wonder if I'll ever use them now 😥.
